How to change dose safely

[Frenchlady14]

Hi,

I've been on 2.5 for a month and about to pick up my 5 pen (prescribed) and I really don't want to go up to 5 as I find 2.5 is strong suppression and it makes me a bit nauseous in the mornings.

Does anyone know if it is ok to count 30 clicks on a 5 pen to give a dose of 2.5 and the pen kept in the fridge will be ok to use for two months/

Any advice very welcome please :)

It’ll be fine

Yes you can do 30 clicks to get a 2.5mg dose out of a 5mg pen.

Using the pen past the 30 day usage is a personal decision and no one can say that it will be ok definitely. Scrupulous hygiene and keeping it in the fridge will reduce any risk, and obviously don’t use it if it has any particulates or cloudiness visible.

Yes, definitely ok - I’ve been doing 3.75mg from a 5mg pen and it’s been fine.
